Beginning Tuesday, December 17th, I will have "MOVED" to my BRAND NEW blog. http://www.lisasstampstudio.com/ My new blog is called "Lisa's Stamp Studio" and you won't want to miss the ORIGINAL design and new, easy format. http://www.lisasstampstudio.com/

Peace, if you think about it, comes in may ways. Peace in your home, peace in your health and peace in your heart. The dove has always been symbolic of peace.

I threaded the button with a piece of the Burlap Ribbon that I shredded and tied the knot to the back and attached it with a glue dot.

I cut two pieces of ribbon. One is 6" long and it mounted it to the Crumb Cake layer of the card, after it was embossed. Another piece, 5" long was then tied UNDER the first piece. Tie tightly so it stays in place. By cutting two pieces of ribbon, versus one that goes all the way around the inside of the card, you will save yourself about 6" on every card.

The Chalkboard Technique would be fabulous with these stamp sets. At $13.95 you can afford to get them both! If you missed my video teaching the Chalkboard Technique you can view it by CLICKING HERE.

And, believe it or not, at Stampin' Up! we're already working on Valentine's Day projects! But these stamps aren't just for Valentine's Day. Several could be used all year round for "thinking of you", wedding, and "miss you" cards. There are even kits that your kids can put together themselves!

There several new stamp sets you won't want to miss on adding to your collection - especially since they are ONLY AVAILABLE until January 27th OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

Christmas just isn't red and green anymore and this page proves just that. I love the color combination. It's warm and trendy.

I used the snowman to lend some credence to the wintery feel of this layout. I cut up some scraps of ribbon to make his scarf and attached them with glue dots. The glimmer brads add some sparkle, too.

Make It Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Snow Day #131892 wood, #131895 clear; Festive Flurries #131778, #131781 clear (this stamp set is also sold as a bundle which includes the coordinating Framelits #133284 wood, #133285 clear)

By now lots of you have your Christmas shopping underway. I love gift giving but I love wrapping the gifts just as much as buying them. I love making the outside looks special - just like the person I'm giving the gift to. This card is a tribute to packaging!

I used the Gift Bow Die (hurry, we have not been told it's being carried over after January 2nd!). I love this die because it makes 3 different bows. Here I've used the small bow, there's a larger bow and you can double up the two sizes for an awesome double bow, too!

I sponged the edges of the cardstock for dimension an heat embossed the words with silver. I played up the silver embossing powder by adding two mini silver brads as well.

I added silver glimmer paper for the center of the bow which adds that extra sparkle.

How lovely are thy branches! Well, no 'branches' on these but they did turn out lovely! Well, at least I think so! ((grin))

Last Thursday was our last scrapbook class for 2013 and as always, with my December classes, we had a Christmas Party! I served hot cocoa (complete with mini marshmallows and whipped cream!) and cookies. Everyone got a free roll of Washi Tape, too!

I created the trees from the largest pennant from the Perfect Pennants Die. And, what would a Christmas tree would be without a little 'bling'! I added a glimmer paper star to the top of each tree.

I also created a journaling pocket. These are easy to make. Just cut a piece of cardstock about 1/2" wider than you'd like your journaling piece to be, notch the top with a circle punch and insert the journaling. I added a pull out tab with some shredded Burlap Ribbon.

Creativity for a Cause

I serve as the assistant lead on behalf of Stampin' Up! for the Ronald McDonald House in Tampa, FL. It is my responsibility to ensure all 14 guest rooms are stocked with hand-stamped greeting cards for the families to use during their stay. The RMH uses approximately 300 cards per month and I need more “manpower” to help me create them. This is where your group (Women’s ministry, group of neighbors, friends, Bible study, Mom’s group, Bunco group, etc.) comes in. I will provide pre-designed, pre-cut pieces that are ready to be stamped and assemble. I ask for a $5 donation, per person, to help off set the cost of supplies. I would love to have your help, so together, we can make a difference in our community. For more information or to organize your group, please contact me.
